Craters Of The Moon, Anyone? 🪐
Jul 13, 2022 3:01 pm
Heyyyyy! It's been far too long since we've talked, and I've got loads of great stuff to share with you today. Vacation pictures, freebies, and news pertaining to a certain short story you might have read all the way back in the spring. 👀
No point in beating around the bush. Let's dive right in!
✨ Vacation Pix ✨
My husband and I just got home from our Great Western Road Trip at the beginning of last week. 15 days of driving all the way from our home in South Carolina to the far reaches of Montana! Surprisingly enough, I still love my husband even after sharing a car with him for that long. 🤪 Also surprisingly enough . . . I think I want to move to Wyoming now. Introverts' paradise!
But I'll have to actually start making money as an author before I can do that. 😉
Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs is pretty fabulous. One of my shoes fell apart around this time, so I spent the rest of the road trip wearing sandals with socks. Just like Hans in Arcane Gateway. 🤣
Would YOU dare to crap in this toilet???? It's literally cliffside along the road up Pike's Peak in Colorado. Yeah, I passed that one by. 😬
Fossil Butte, Wyoming—recommended for anthropologists & people who want to get away from everything . . . and everybody.
My husband and I at the Great Salt Lake in Utah. Photo taken by my lovely editor, whom I hadn't seen in person for a good 6 years. It was wonderful to meet up again! 💖
Hot & dry at Craters of the Moon, Idaho. Recommended for Teutons who claim the element of molten rock.
A "secret" waterfall in Montana that's not on any maps. My sort of place! 💙
I've got several hundred pictures in my archives from the Great Western Road Trip, but I think 6 is good enough for one newsletter. Should I include a few more in my forthcoming newsletters, assuming my side characters agree to share them? Hit reply & let me know! I'd love to hear from you. 🥰
🔥 Spicy Anthology For ONLY 99¢ 🔥
In case you're wondering what I've been doing on the "author" front now that I've finished my first-ever series [w00t!], it's about time I tell you about Lunar Rising.
I've teamed up with a bunch of other indie authors to present a fun collection of paranormal romance short stories and novellas! This anthology has it all—vampires, shifters, werewolves, dragons, demons . . . aaaaaaand an airy Teuton witch that some of you might know already.
If you read my short story in the Fates & Mates BookFunnel anthology from back in the spring, you might remember that the main character, Ilsa, found herself facing an arranged marriage . . . if not worse. You might also remember that her husband-to-be, Horst, claimed the element of fire. 🔥
But the thing that likely simmered in your brain, once you finished reading their story, was . . . "What exactly happened on their first night together? What was it like when air and fire mated? Did Ilsa agree to it, or did she tell Horst to sleep on the couch? After all, there was only one bed!"
Well, it just so happens that the Lunar Rising anthology has a spice requirement. And that means I get to write several—yes, several—scenes describing the glories of Teutonic fire blending with air.
Curious to see what comes of it?
Now's your chance to preorder Lunar Rising for ONLY 99¢! This is a money-making anthology, so the price will go up after it releases to the public. The release date is October 4th, and my fellow authors and I are hoping to snag at least a couple more preorders before that time. It's available everywhere—from the Amazon monolith to Nook, Apple, Google Play, and Kobo. 🤩
Grab Lunar Rising today, and get ready to find out what happens after Horst and Ilsa drive off into the sunset together! 🌞
Forbidden Love Freebies
Need some freebies that play on the forbidden love trope to tide you over until Lunar Rising is out? This promo's got 21 options for you, each of which will tug on your heart strings. Will true love prevail, even if it's taboo? Find out now!
I'd better sign off so I can dive back into this writing business. Along with the extra scenes I get to create for Ilsa and Horst, I've also got another box set on the horizon . . . and a completely NEW series after that! No rest for the wicked!
Don't forget to tell me whether I should ask my side characters to share some more road trip photos with you. 📷 And snag Lunar Rising if you haven't yet!
Talk to you soon,
